Bath repair for Malinslee homes

How we handle bath repair in Malinslee

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the day after. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about holes from dropped items and rusty patches near the plughole.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Malinslee

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover the whole of Telford and Wrekin?

The entire UK, including all of Telford and Wrekin. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

When can I have a bath again?

Usually within a day, depending on the repair.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How much does bath repair cost in Malinslee?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Malinslee

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our prices page or bath cost comparison.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
